Steffen Prohaska 4804aabcdb help (Windows): Display HTML in default browser using Windows' shell API
The system's default browser for displaying HTML help pages is now used
directly on Windows, instead of launching git-web--browser, which
requires a Unix shell.  Avoiding MSYS' bash when possible is good
because it avoids potential path translation issues.  In this case it is
not too hard to avoid launching a shell, so let's avoid it.

The Windows-specific code is implemented in compat/mingw.c to avoid
platform-specific code in the main code base.  On Windows, open_html is
provided as a define.  If open_html is not defined, git-web--browse is
used.  This approach avoids platform-specific ifdefs by using
per-function ifdefs.  The "ifndef open_html" together with the
introductory comment should sufficiently warn developers, so that they
hopefully will not break this mechanism.
